EXTERIGA wins the 9th Chess League title
The ninth edition of the Chess League ended in late December with EXTERIGA at the top of the podium, displacing ROBI, who had defended the title the previous year. The competition, organized through the Lichess platform, brought together 23 players and was structured into four divisions, with a Sonneborn-Berger scoring system for tiebreaks.
The final standings, updated on December 11, show EXTERIGA with 7.5 points, trinc by ROBI with 7.0 and HIPERIÓN with 6.5. In the fourth division, MAKWA was crowned champion after securing mathematical victory before the last round. The calendar included a Swiss tournament on October 3 and the final round from December 18 to 24, where promotions and relegations were decided.
The league maintains a play-off format where draws earn half a point and tiebreaks are decided exclusively by the Sonneborn-Berger calculation. The organization announced a new edition in August and a knockout cup in March, maintaining the tradition started in 2015.
With these results, the online chess community continues to show that amateur competitiveness can generate data as precise as that of any professional circuit, although the debate over the fairness of the scoring system remains open.
